Question

A wooden block floats and an iron block sinks when both are placed on the surface of the water? Explain why.

Answer 1

Solution:-

1. If object density is more than the water it will sink and when object density is less than the water it will float.
2. $Densityofiron>Densityofwater$.
3. $Densityofwood<Densityofwater$.
4. Hence, a wooden block floats and an iron block sink when both are placed on the surface of the water.
